Welcome to Saras Exam Platform

Welcome to the Saras Launch Hub — your central source of information, updates and support for the launch of our new exams platform.

Saras represents a significant step forward in how exams activity will be managed across our centres. Developed to enhance usability, improve performance and strengthen security, the platform has been designed with both efficiency and user experience in mind.

As we move towards launch, this hub will provide everything you need in one place — from key dates and system requirements to training opportunities and ongoing support. We encourage you to bookmark this page and check back regularly, as it will be updated throughout the rollout to ensure you always have access to the latest information.

What is Saras?

Saras is our new exams platform that brings key exams activity into one intuitive system. It has been designed with centres in mind, focusing on ease of use, reduced administration and improved visibility.

Centres will not have access to Saras until the planned go-live point. Ahead of this, we’ll provide clear guidance, training and communications so you can prepare with confidence.

Benefit from features and advantages carefully designed with you and your learners in mind:

Training and Webinars

To support you ahead of go-live, we’ve created a comprehensive set of “how-to” videos designed to help centres feel confident and fully prepared to use Saras.

Whether you’re looking for a high-level overview or a detailed walkthrough of key tasks, there are videos to suit different roles and levels of experience, covering a range of features within Saras. Each video is designed to provide clear guidance and help you understand how Saras will work in practice.

Step-by-step support guides

Our step-by-step support guides are designed to cover the primary processes you will be undertaking in Saras.
